Why Okinawa’s sea looks emerald.

Okinawa’s sea looks emerald because water lets blue light pass, white coral sand reflects it, and shallow, clear reefs brighten the hue.
In Ogimi Village, often cited in Blue Zones discussions, shikuwasa has long supported everyday cooking. We capsule its peel-derived nobiletin so travelers can start a simple, culture-rooted habit.
Begin with 2–3 months, pair with good meals and daily walks. Details and purchase: https://nobiletin.myshopify.com/

Why Okinawa’s sea looks emerald.

• Optics. Water absorbs more red light and lets more blue pass.

• White coral sand. A bright seabed reflects and softens the blue toward turquoise–emerald.

• Shallow, clear reefs. Bottom reflection reaches your eyes, amplifying the light, clean tone.
  A color you remember from the beach can also guide how you remember the taste and lifestyle of Ogimi.

Ogimi and the Blue Zones mindset.

Ogimi Village has been known for longevity and is often referenced when people discuss Blue Zones. What stands out is not a single “super trick”, but everyday patterns.

1. Food. Vegetables, beans, seaweeds, tubers as the base, plus a bright citrus note for balance.

2. Movement. Lots of natural activity through walking and light farm work.

3. Connection. Small, supportive circles and a steady sense of purpose.
   Shikuwasa sits inside this routine. Its peel is especially rich in a polymethoxyflavone called nobiletin, which is why we focus on the peel and preserve that wisdom in a modern, easy format.

From grove to capsule: how we make it.

• Harvest and selection. We pick in season and check appearance, aroma, and ripeness.

• Upcycling the peel. After juicing, we carefully collect the peel, where nobiletin is concentrated.

• Low-temperature drying and milling. We protect aroma and key components.

• Food-grade extraction and standardization. We verify nobiletin content and reduce lot variation.

• Domestic encapsulation and checks. Filled in Japan, with microbial and heavy metal screenings and lot control.
  This loop connects grove → factory → your daily routine, adding value to a local byproduct and respecting the region.

If you’re traveling in your 40s, make it easy to keep.

• When. Take 3 capsules after a meal with water or warm water.

• How long. Commit to 2–3 months as a first milestone. Start in Okinawa, continue at home.

• Good pairings. Walk 20–30 minutes, choose veg-forward meals, and prioritize sleep.

• Packing tip. Pre-pack a small pill case for the trip so the habit survives the flight home.
  If you are pregnant, nursing, have allergies, or take medications, consult a professional beforehand. This article is general information, not medical advice or a treatment or prevention claim.
